The lowered price of the coin is considered a vote of confidence for the asset whose market value dropped as low as $0.145 in the trailing seven-day period.
What's next for Dogecoin.
Dogecoin is one of the most volatile digital currencies in the market today with a very reactive community. At the moment, the coin's momentum is determined by the general pace in the market with the major determinant being Bitcoin (BTC).
On its part, Dogecoin developers are mulling the introduction of smart contract features on MyDogeWallet. Two of the features being planned include Doginals and DRC-20 with upgrades set to be implemented on the browser extension of the wallet.
With more ingrained ecosystem functionalities, a new demand avenue for Dogecoin can be created, benefiting the entire meme coin community.
